The bigger the check, the better the idea

Jim Black told a Greensboro Chamber of Commerce audience yesterday that he and Marc Basnight are looking for ideas on how to change the state's tax system.

Judging from Black and Basnight's talent for raising money, soliciting "ideas" from business people interested in changing the tax system should be plenty lucrative!

Doug, this was one of those jaw-dropping articles that we see occasionally. What amount of revenue will be sufficient for Mr. Black? Our taxes are already high compared with other southeastern states.

Doug said:

Joe, we probably do need to change our tax system to keep up with a different kind of economy, but it's scary when these guys talk about taxing services like physician, dentist, lawyer bills, etc. Watch the billions roll in.
